Indecent AdvertisinS Cards.
To the Editor of TIE EVENING STAB:
II understand the question rightly, this is not
a war against tobacco or its use, or against any
person growing or handling 1t; but against mere
thci0us salaci0us or vulgar picture which has
nothing whatever to do with its growth or use
and which cannot be considered as a necessary ad-
Junct to its sale; but Is simply put forward by
certain manufacturers and dealers as an additional
inducement to buy, what Is probably an inferior
article, from the dement's OF which the attention
Of the buyer is TO be called by base appeal to
some passion, stronger than that OF desiring good
tobacco. Every dealer knows or ought TO know,
that a good article finds ready sale even at the
high price usually asked for IL; and such an ar
ticle is not even advertised extensively. Let me
ask one question for the sake OF illustration: What
dry goods dealer finds it necessary to offer extra
ordinary Inducements to purchasers OF New York
Mills or WamSutta cotton. beyond the fact that
he is selling at market pricef II he offered them
much below that price, they would be looked upon

as good as New York mills or Wamsutta, he wrap

Your correspondent, A. N. Gangewer, calls the
